摘要

Portrait and Castle present protagonists who seek the littoral terrain as a physical space in kvhich they can contend with a personal sense of self. Walking the strand, these characters resist liegemonic influences, and in the process, affirm self-actualized identities. They voice this newfound sense of self in creative expression. Through an appreciation of the anti-colonial imperatives exhibited in the text, a person can understand what brings the littoral figure to the "border." The personal transformation that the characters undergo within this space marks the space in-between land and water as an archetype worth investigating. In post-colonial terms, this archetype links these novels sociopolitically and aesthetically.;In occupying the space between the land and the sea, adopting a seaward and inland uaze, Stephen and "G" reflect upon their relationships with the maternal and patriarchal figures in their lives. They also contend with the colonial forces impacting their realities, forces influencing an allegiance to the homeland as well as a desire to travel abroad for access to experiences and resources that cannot be found within the colony. These contemplations allow the reader to derive postcolonial, phenomenological and psychoanalytical understandings of the texts; the concepts and themes can also be defined in terms of border theory. When placed in the shore, these characters imagine the steps they need to take to become artists, and in reflecting on their past and present situations, they discover the language they need to discover their voice and sense of empowerment. When they leave the coast, these characters are reconciled to the limits of their homeland, ready to seek the transformations they will undergo as they mature and strive for independence. The ensuing shape of the novel informs this rising consciousness, representing the aesthetic language that reflects this new awareness and post-colonial drive to be self-determined.;The major problem this dissertation addresses, then, is the tropological significance of the littoral icon, particularly when this icon is contextualized within post-colonialism. Considering the significance of the littoral space as an archetype in Castle and Portrait, this study underscores essential linkages that Joyce and Lamming explore in these novels, issues regarding alienation, the quest for identity, and artistic ingenuity, using the trope to delineate the ways in which literary criticism can explore thematic comparisons between texts that are typically analyzed according to their canonical tradition, this dissertation highlights human commonalities across race and national allegiances.
机译：Portrait and Castle是主角们，他们在沿海地区寻找沿海地形作为物理空间，他们可以与自己的自我意识抗衡。这些角色走在钢绞线上，抵制串串的影响，并在此过程中确认自我实现的身份。他们在创造性表达中表达了这种新发现的自我意识。通过欣赏文本中显示的反殖民命令，一个人可以理解将沿海人物带到“边界”的原因。角色在此空间中进行的个人转换标志着土地和水之间的空间是值得研究的原型。用后殖民的术语来说，这种原型在社会政治上和美学上将这些小说联系起来。在占据陆地和海洋之间的空间，采用向海和内陆的方式下，斯蒂芬和“ G”反映了他们与非洲女性和父权制人物的关系。他们的生活。他们还与影响其现实的殖民势力，影响效忠祖国的势力以及渴望出国旅行以获取殖民地内无法找到的经验和资源的愿望作斗争。这些思考使读者可以得出对文本的后殖民，现象学和心理分析的理解。概念和主题也可以根据边界理论来定义。这些角色摆放在岸边时，会想象他们要成为艺术家所需要采取的步骤，并在反思过去和现在的情况时，会发现他们发现自己的声音和力量感所需要的语言。当他们离开海岸时，这些角色会被调和到自己的祖国极限，准备寻求他们在成熟和争取独立时将经历的转变。小说随后的形状传达了这种上升的意识，代表了审美语言，反映了这种新的意识和后殖民的自我决定的驱动力。论文的主要问题是滨海圣像的形态学意义，特别是当此图标在后殖民主义中被背景化时。考虑到滨海空间是《城堡与肖像》原型的重要意义，本研究强调了乔伊斯和拉明在这些小说中探索的本质联系，关于疏离，对身份的追求以及艺术独创性，并用平底锅勾勒出了这种方式。文学批评可以探讨通常根据其规范传统进行分析的文本之间的主题比较，因此本文着重论述了人类在种族和民族忠诚方面的共性。
